analysis,
understanding the geological formation
of the site was vital to understanding its
character and structure, while also
perhaps giving clues as to how the
building itself might be formed.
The site is situated in Johnson
Crook, a south-facing indentation along
the bluff of Lookout Mountain in the
town of New Salem, Georgia. As part of
the sinuous course of the Appalachian
system, stretching over 1,500 miles
from Newfoundland to Alabama, its
making is due to collisions which
happened over 300 million years ago.
Huge plates containing North America,
Africa, Europe and South America
slowly crept closer to each other, finally
joining to form a super-continent,
leaving marks on their plate edges. The

Appalachian Plateaus, of which Lookout
Mountain is a part, is the last in a series
of deformations resulting from this
collision emanating westward from the
Blue Ridge.

So ironically, the mountains
today are the skeletons of ancient
valleys, the eroded remnants of a far
taller range, the "Old Appalachians."
The strata of these sedimentary
Appalachians have been flexed into a
succession of anticlines and synclines,
with folds crowded tightly against each
other. These folds trend in a northeastsouthwest direction, parallel to the
major structural axis of the folded
Appalachians, though they are often
broken and overturned by faults.

the building, leaving out a floor, a
ceiling, or a wall allows the outside to
come in and complete it, to animate it.
Conversely, out in the landscape, the
power of definition that simply a roof or
a stone wall or some steps carry is
evident in structures existing on the
site.
Similar to fields of elements in the
landscape which overlap, build in
density, intermingle and dissipate, the
layers of the building weave together.
Moving through the site as it exists, you
move between rocks, through screens,
and under canopies. Built anologies are
offered by the building, as it becomes
penetrable and separates into passing
fields of roofs, walls, floors and frames.
With only pieces of the building moving
out into the landscape, parts of the
outside are partially enclosed, bringing
them into the territory of the building.

He goes on to cite Gunnar
Asplund's Woodland Cemetery as a
project which straddles this edge.
"The architect orchestrates the sequence
of movement and view; the path leads
from the natural, to the inflected

Donlyn Lyndon describes building

"By shaping and surfacing the land itself

paths across the land and up through
